April 2011, Casa Encantada, Los Angeles, CA, USA “Hahaha!” The little tyke sitting on my back laughed as if this was the most fun he’d had in his short life, which was probably true. “Yes, Ace.” I grinned at the thought of my son having so much fun with me and continued running on all fours in the backyard. “You and Dada will defeat Ian and Uncle Evan.” “Stop trying to make your kids so competitive,” Evan shot back while running beside me in the same position. “If I left…- 1.1 M • Ongoing
“Do you think he’ll get it right this time?” Al Pacino just shrugged, for he had no answer to that question. “This is the toughest scene for his character, so it’ll take time before he fully gets there. We just need some patience, and I’m sure he’ll nail it in a few more takes.” Robert Zemeckis nodded in agreement and walked back behind the camera. As much as Al preferred working with a director like Bob, who was open-minded enough to accept suggestions, it was sometimes tiring to…- 297.0 K • Ongoing
- The ceremony began as usual, with a video recap of all the major movies released that year. I leaned closer to Scarlett and whispered, “Keep in mind the Academy unofficially asked me to host this year. Apparently, they wanted some young talent to boost the younger audience members.” “You shouldn’t have declined,” she whispered back. “It would’ve been so cool to see you up on stage.” “Any other year, I might’ve considered it, but not this one. Not when Harry Potter is so favored…

- The New York Times A Rising Star's Privacy Meets Television's Appetite Last night's appearance by actor Noah Hunter on became less an interview than an unexpected confrontation. Shown censored photographs reportedly taken without his knowledge on a Greek beach, Hunter responded not with theatrics but with visible anger. "My privacy was disgustingly invaded," the actor said, questioning how private vacation photographs had found their way into American tabloids. Whatever one thinks of…

- The movie began with Noah Hunter waking up in bed with a start. He didn't seem to be wearing anything, but a sheet covered him from the waist down. He rubbed his face tiredly before looking at the other side of the bed, where an equally naked redhead was lying on her stomach. Only her back was visible, and her lower half was similarly covered by a sheet. “Shit!” he cursed out loud, and then the movie went into a flashback. “Bill!” one of Noah's friends called out to the protagonist and…

- The moment I saw her, I knew who she was. She was a future Oscar winner and one of the greatest British actresses of her generation. Not to mention a brilliant writer and a very funny comedienne. Emma Thompson. “I’m so sorry for being late,” she apologized. “I mixed up the timing for this audition with another one.” “Unfortunately for you, we’re done here for today,” John said sternly. “You can come back tomorrow...” “John,” I interrupted before he could finish,…

- Doug and I went back as far as my first film. He was the one who wrote the atrocity that was . While the film was terrible, he inspired me to start writing my own scripts. He even took my first script, , to Columbia and got Paul Brickman involved in the process. Sure, Paul and I didn’t get along, but I had no beef with Doug. In fact, I owed him for essentially making my Hollywood career. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have written or any of my other scripts. “Why does Doug want to get in…

- Christopher Nolan looked at the man who had made the movie possible, Troy Armitage, who was getting ready for today's shoot. For a brief time, had been as good as scrapped. "If Troy doesn't appear in the sequel, people won't watch the movie," Jonathan Nolan, Christopher's brother and co-writer of the screenplay, had said seriously. "The film made as much money as it did because of the surprise reveal at the end about his identity. And he was the soul of the movie. If he's not coming back, we may as…

- “This year’s award season, which leads up to the Oscars, just took a confusing turn,” the man on the TV said with a smile. “The Golden Globes, which open the season, were heavily skewed in favor of the biggest movie of the year, . With the exception of two acting awards in the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor categories, the movie won every award it had been nominated for. The same trend followed at the Critics' Choice Awards, where, once again, the last Harry Potter movie swept the awards,…

- “My water just broke,” she announced. “Hugo! Get the car!” My brother-in-law, who was an excellent doctor, seemed to forget all of his training the moment he saw his wife on the verge of delivering their second child. “Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! This is happening,” Hugo said in a panic. “What are we gonna do?” “Calm down, bro,” I called out as I helped Aria to her feet. “Grab Miles and follow Aria and me. We're going to the hospital.” He nodded gratefully and…
